On March 17, 2023, at 1414 eastern daylight time, a Beech V35, N5616S, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Shoreham, New York. The pilot and pilot-rated passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
According to the pilot, he departed Brookhaven Airport (HWV), Shirley, New York, on the day of the accident for a local flight. About 20 minutes into the flight, at a cruise altitude of 3,500 ft mean sea level, he noticed the manifold pressure dropping. He pushed the throttle, mixture, and propeller controls full forward. The engine did not respond, and he looked for a place to land the airplane. He noticed that the ocean tide was low, so he decided to land on the beach. The airplane landed hard, the landing gear collapsed, and the left-wing spar was substantially damaged. The airplane veered left and came to rest in the water.
The wreckage was retained for further examination.
